country's immigration system after being soundly blasted by congressional republicans for trying to kill the bipartisan immigration deal proposed by the so-called gang of eight. the center marco rubio, one of the republican leaders of that gain was unequivocal in announcing the president's intervention in what until this weekend has been a promising approach to new immigration legislation. this so-called leak of the president's plan was politically explosive. it may have ended the process. if actually propose to the president's bill would be dead on arrival in congress, leaving us with unsecured borders and a broken legal immigration system for years to come. white house officials today clumsily insisted that the league draft did not come from them. the draft, including an 8-year path to citizenship for illegal immigrants already in the country and a window as small as two years for those who were brought here as children.

but another gang of eight member, senator john mccain dismisses the white house claims today of innocence and the release of that draft. now the awkward walk back of the president's initiative. senator mccain questions the president's desire to actually, sincerely fix the broken legal and illegal immigration system. >> leaks don't happen in washington by axa. this raises the question that many of us continue to wonder. does the president really want a result or does he want another -- lou: a central question in all of this. if the white house had nothing to do with the leak, the president's chief of staff on sunday morning talk shows to issue ultimatums like this. >> he says it is denim arrival of proposed. let's make sure does not. let's make sure that the group up there, the gang of eight, makes good progress on these efforts as much as they say they want to which is exactly what we intend to do to work with them.

lou: the $85 billion in spending cuts and the sequestration are now just ten days away from going into affect. the house and senate stand in recess. the president returned to the white house tonight after is three day gulf weekend. to receive all been with, again? mr. obama is being very careful to slide back into the routine. no abrupt work being introduced. nothing on the public schedule other than a friday meeting with japanese prime minister at the white house. president obama's legal immigration proposal reinforcing concerns that the president is not interested in tying border security to in the legalization of illegal immigrants. joining us now to discuss this week, the impact of immigration reform, manhattan institute fellow and city journal contributing editor heather macdonald, fox used in digital politics editor joining is from the nation's capital. is the nation's capital all

abuzz with the utterly outrageous claim that the white house are originated this league? >> well, you know very well that least not happen by accident in washington. as you astutely pointed out, mr. mcdonough testimony on the sunday shows made it very clear that this leak was something that they wanted for. they would like to go -- go to congress and they're giving the president what he wants an illegal immigration which is amnesty, unconditional, and a rapid path with citizenship. as things a true. and if it does not work out and the president is not good ability once he would be perfectly content to attack republicans with the issue of calling them xenophobic and racist in the run-up to the midterm elections. lou: all that we have heard before, and the mcdonald. is that likely to be effective? either a cajole or of any kind

of threat? >> well, i'm afraid i don't get any of this. i think it is all kabuki theater. in fact a mother is no significant difference between the president obama's proposal and the bipartisan proposal. the basic fact of both of them is an amnesty, and that would be willing to bet that under the gang of a proposal we have a quicker path the legalization then eight years proposed in the obama package. absolutely. i do not believe that we will go, given the current pressure, against enforcement that we will go eight years without converting probationary status into the green card. frankly, the real goal of this is the probationary status. once you get an illegal alien, probationary status, it's basically illegal. both plans to that from day one. lou: do you agree with that? do you think this is just, as heather has put it, kabuki theater, political theater, if

you will, contrived and directed toward one result, a swift implementation of what is a -- exactly what the president wants >> we do kabuki theater down here better than anyplace else in the world. apologies to our japanese cousins. the truth is, the republicans, the conservatives are fighting over this question. heather, who work i have long admired and who is very smart and i'm very honored to be on with there, the truth is this. for conservatives the question is, what is the condition? they know that the game is up once you have the initial enlistee, whenever you call it. the question the conservatives are wrestling with is, what did they get in return for the original amnesty? full implementation of e-verify, border security. order the things that they get in exchange for that? this is a long dance that is being played out among the service and republicans, especially house republicans and between this gang of eight and house republicans right now.

the president's mission of the weekend was to set the goal post further back and make it harder in terms of this because remember -- and don't forget, i only do cynical politics because i live in kabuki cent. the truth is that republicans now that they desperately need to get past this issue and quit talking about it. any deal that they could do that would get them out of this jail they would be happy to have. >> they will do it. this allows the gang of eight and marco rubio to position themselves as immigration talks and it is a good, bad cop routine. now the alternative, if you want enforcement, is the gang of eight enlisting proposal. i would say, what they really should be bargaining for, which they already given up, so this is irrelevant, is to move the legal immigration system toward priority for skilled immigrants away from family reunification. that was in senator arubia as original plan and that is now gone. at this point nothing really matters 36 he looks like a leader on this.

right now looks as though he is going to be -- he has been marginalized to a large degree. and, well, he will emerge from whatever happens stronger as a leader of the republican party. it is pretty clear right now that the republicans are not going to be able to say to the hispanic american potential voters, you know, you have to come with us. we want better than 30 percent participation. were you think we go here? >> well, republicans have a huge problem with mexican-american voters. no question about that. that is a major blight on their party. but here's the deal. yes, when it comes to us smart people who do real policy on these issues, there is a lot to be said about the question of these guest worker vises and the question about skilled workers verses not skilled.

the name of the game for republicans is what you do with the people who are already year. how you address those folks. for the republicans what they're hoping for. they're not allowed to say out loud and more because of mitt romney, but what they're hoping for is self deportation 1c-rarefy and systems like that do it in place, people who are not workers eventually leave the country. tough call for the party. there and a real crossroads. lou: is chris being a little -- he says he is cynical. he sounded to me like he was gloriously optimistic. [laughter] >> i think he is inside the beltway. i think this is -- lou: not there. unkind. >> i guarantee you, and we can come back and debate this. in a month this will have blown over and we will the bit -- we will be back to the gang of the proposal. as much as anybody can hope for, and i promise you we will see legalization, full legalization before eight years. lou: before eight years. i, by the way, will not make that bet. we will leave it up to you.

how you invest your money. >> it depends on what the bet is lou: the idea here that this is somehow resolved and that there will not be a chain migration that is an emphasis on bringing families to this country, 11 million. there is no number being issued here. i have always said that is one of the deeply troubling things. give us a number. 11 million illegal immigrants in the country than pleased to say 11 million opportunities whether they be in the form of the sec, whenever for. i suspect that the number is going to be well north of that, don't you? >> it will be thanks to chain migration. even if there are only 11 million illegal aliens year they will then become qualified to bring in their spouse. in turn, there is a more broad range after that. lou: there you are. and you thought that heather and i were not going to sound

cynical. >> it's okay. the gang of two has defeated me. that is fine. lou: we come together. we offer one another council. thank you very much. appreciate that. much more on the president's immigration, what would you call that, leek and its effect on bipartisan discussions on the still sore subject of illegal immigration through the broadcast. ♪ lou: obamacare running out of money before it even begins or as a colleague of mine says, it's a hot mess. that's the "chalk talk" tonight. the $101 billion tax no one has ever heard of. you will hear about it here tonight. ♪ with the spark miles card from capital one, bjorn earns unlimited rewas for his small business take theseags to room 12 please.

coming from. lou: a big surprise. what is going on is of reform for the first time. excise tax, sort of house cigarette makers and alcohol companies have to pay tax on the company. it's kind of a sales tax. health insurers have to pay this tax back into the government. and so what basically is going on is too important groups in washington d.c. the congressional budget office and the joint committee on taxation are saying get this, at the consumers, businesses are going to have their health insurance premium go up because the health insurance industry is going to pass this tax along. and the number here. $101 billion over ten years. how that maps out, what that equates to four, you know, insurance premium hikes for the average family, $7,200 over two years. the $720. lou: an addition to all the other taxes. >> that's right. lou: this is a stunning stuff. >> it's a whopper. it runs counter to what the president is said. you are going to keep your

health insurance as it is right now. you may save money and your health insurance. that's not the case. does not overseeing. lou: we are hard-pressed rather than to say what the president misrepresented got to find anything but he said that was correct as he sold obamacare to the american people. i honestly can't think of a single thing that he said that has come to pass. he said that the prices would go down, premiums would go down, the cost of health care would go down. >> its deficit-reduction. lou: you can keep your health care plan. all of it is of herbal. >> and it is extraordinary. what really struck me about this is that the fact that the cbo and joint committee on taxation are coming in and have come out and said, listen, the health insurance industry will pass this along. they will pass the sales tax along. they're not going to solid. it will pass along off. lou: what business would? >> that struck me because i had not seen such pointed language from both of those troops.

lou: but in fairness here, the cbo and various agencies of this federal government to bar presumably non-partisan or bipartisan in some cases, utterly missing the boat here. they did not give the american people a correct reading of what was happening with obamacare. nancy pelosi who played the part of the president's stooge drought 2009 until the passage of obamacare in march of 2010, she had it right all along. she was the honest voice in washington. you have to pass it to find out what's in it. >> and this is submarine then almost like pharmaceutical type. but the thing is, we have a bipartisan bill that has been reintroduced to repeal this health insurance sales tax. the insurance industry will pass it on. whether that passes remains to be seen. lou: at the same time their is a little front that has been opened up with the number of democratic senators saying they

♪ lou: obamacare, the taxes just keep coming. we were just told about the massive tax increase on its way, but the program designed to help people with pre-existing medical conditions is running out of money. this so-called pre-existing condition insurance plan was supposed to help up to up 400,000 folks.

400,000 people with pre-existing condition sphere until obamacare fully to next year. the problem with that is that only 1,305,000 folks have signed up for it. and guess what they just did? a capet. they said, we don't have the money. insurance is proving more costly than they had been apparently had believed. they had been told they did not have enough money. a $5 billion, appropriated $5 billion the back of the pre-existing condition, program. less than half of that remains available. and so they decided they'd better stop it now because they're spending money at an unbelievable rate. new applicants are being now turned away on top of that the majority of states are now rejecting what is, after all, the heart of obamacare, the so-called insurance exchanges, health care marketplaces. consumers can buy individual

private policies beginning october 1st and then applied for in some cases government subsidies to help pay the premium. twenty-six states from 26 states have said to obamacare, no deal. they're leaving it up to the federal government to set up those exchanges. seventeen states and the district of columbia are running their own exchanges. seventeen. seventeen states and the district of columbia. seven states are partner with the government. that is sort of a compromise. seventeen states. seven states, 17 states in d.c. well, you know, they're doing well we thought they would do, leaving the federal government absolutely flabbergasted. no idea what to do right now. why are 26 states opting out? cost an appearance simple. republican governors, 24 of them have rejected those exchanges say they simply cannot trust the federal government to cover the

full cost of operating in exchange. and guess what, they have some pretty evidence for that already the preexisting element of the program has been capped and shut down because they're out of money. those governors were pretty smart. the taxes as a result of obamacare, as you were noting, showing up almost daily. so, to keep up with what is happening to the tax burden on the american working man and woman and particularly the middle class working man and woman in this country, every night on this broadcast we are going to be covering those taxes, the hidden costs, the public policy disasters that are mounting with each passing day. all of that which is obamacare because obamacare sticker shock is worsening each and every day and we're going to do our very best to put forward the truth about the cost, the taxes, and the functional results of the so-called public policies of obamacare.

element is the fact is so much of this gun violence is black-on-black violence, minority-on-minority violence. there's no discussion on that. lou: your reaction. >> i agree. i found his comments absolutely extraordinary and here is what is interesting. let that and the news that you read about washington state and these legislators in did not even know what was in this proposal, this bill that they co-sponsored, requiring home inspections. and you have the president go to great lengths to try to save him a look, we're not here to take anyone's guns away. we are not against the second amendment and then you wonder why conservatives and people who are pro-second amendment are concerned about this. i mean, you have these kinds of proposals that are popping up in states. you contemplate. i think people are right to be concerned about the possibility that there will be more attentive take there guns away. lou: think about the president. i mean, he has told us some extraordinary tales. he said he is not coming for

your guns. he said is that a spending problem when it's a spending problem. he said the most transparent administration in history when is obviously anything but. at what point all of these misrepresentations and really pure i'll responses to an obvious reality for millions of americans weigh upon his standing among the american public? >> never. we just had the referendum, the election. he whined. lou: is actually in better shape now. >> he keeps finding these tidbits, would have called by size accomplishments that are accomplishments of all, rhetorical by and large that then become the common parlance of that moment and protected from attack. lou: never. we will be back with what monica and stephen have to say about that next.

lou: the president, over the weekend playing golf, three days. ed henry, head of white house press association, beside himself as were his colleagues, at the lack of access. what's new? >> i tell you why this story sans out. not that the vacation is on i have -- not that the president on vacation again. , per say, but this white house claimed to be most transparent, we see everything from "fast and furious" to benghazi to the golf trips, there is no transparency. lou: this is to me, this is strange. the white house press corps, which is performed rather gently, i think toward the president wants more access when he plays golf. i'm not sure what the pictures

were and the reports were going to be, about a three-day golf holiday with tiger woods? >> i think that ed henry deserves credit for raising this issue and pushing it. i guess i would have chosen a different topic or time. far more important we get 70 e-mails echargeed between intelligence agency and administration. than a picture of the president with tiger woods. lou: i'm sure they are on the way. >> according to dennis mcdonough they are under negotiation, but that is where i would have said we need more information of substantive nature, the case is good, i'm glad ed is pressing it. lou: hank. is this, as heather mcdonald said, all kabuki theater, political theater, the leaking of the president's position on
